Why it matters

An accessible site is easier for everyone: people with poor eyesight, older customers, people who use only a keyboard or read a phone in bright sun. In Kazakhstan, the Digital Code requires accessibility from government bodies, the quasi-public sector and providers of public services (Article 42); we found no direct duty for private websites, so check with a lawyer. Designing to AA from the first sketch is far cheaper than fixing the site after an audit.

1Levels A, AA, AAAA covers basics, AA is the usual target for a company website, AAA the strictest and rarely needed for a whole site.
2What testing coversKeyboard use, screen readers, contrast, zoom, form errors and captions, checked with tools and by hand.
3Page languageKazakh and Russian versions are marked with their language in the code, so screen readers pronounce them correctly.
ExampleA clinic in Almaty rebuilds its website with online booking. Designs are checked for contrast and text size before any code, the booking form is tested with a keyboard and a screen reader, and error messages say what to fix. The Kazakh and Russian versions are each marked with their language.
